Movistar are looking really awesome today, they and Garmin have created havoc in the main.
Unconvinced about Saxo and Conta.
Porte is completely spent also.
Fantastic racing

Saxo did some nice job too. I think Conta should be 2nd option in Saxo now.

Sky has blown up completely. Kennaugh crashed. Porte is having a very bad day. Froome is isolated, while Contador and Valverde still have many domestiques left. Lots and lots of attacks sinds the start of the stage. Things seem to have finally settled down a bit.
Cheers, looks like it could be a great stage. |

It was, like two years ago when Evans had problems.

Which also happened today. Mechanical on a climb at the worst time, too

Is Porte back or has he found a new group further back?

Yes, come on Movistar! Great to see Froome isolated and Porte gone so we can have a real battle between the favourites. |

TDF app has it as Gallopin.
EDIT: Oh and Voigt too, didn't see him on the list at first.
